Fomtec AFFF 3% Ultra LT

Fomtec AFFF 3% ULTRA LT firefighting foam is an aqueous film forming foam concentrate (AFFF) consisting of fluorocarbon and hydrocarbon surfactants blended with various solvents, preservatives and stabilisers. The foam forms an aqueous film that rapidly cuts off the oxygen supply and thus knocks down the fire.

The expanded foam from which the film is drained forms a stable blanket that suppresses the release of flammable vapours and cools down the fuel surface extinguishing the fire and preventing re-ignition. The low surface tension of the water foam concentrate solution enables the aqueous film, although heavier than the burning liquid, to float on top of the liquid surface.

Fomtec AFFF 3% ULTRA LT should be used at 3% proportioned solution (3 part concentrate in 97 parts of water) in fresh or seawater. It may also be stored as a pre mix solution in fresh water.
